    I bought a flat tire kit for my 2014 PiP to replace the stock toyota tire kit, didn't want to have to replace the TPMS sensor like with the Toyota kit. The usable compressor in the kit has become a favorite - checking tires without having to go to a gas station and rush to inflate all of the tires before the compressor times out, juggling a gauge and the hose, etc.

    Now I can check pressure and inflate at home with the compressor, and fill the kid's bike tires without having to haul them to the gas station.

    Has anyone come up with any data on MPG improvements by raising tire pressures in the Prime? Just curious what kind of increase you saw if any in MPG or EV range.
